Joomla User Group Suffolk was formed as a result of the highly successful JoomlaDay UK 2009 which was held in Maidstone, Kent. At the time a Norfolk user group was in its infancy, but there were several people from Suffolk who were also interested in starting up a group with a view to perhaps having bi-monthly meetings in conjunction with the Norfolk group as an "East of England" group.
A preliminary meeting was set up, where Ruth Cheesley and Matt Meyrick decided to set about formally creating a Joomla User Group for Suffolk.
